Description
Photograph of four different views featuring the architecture of Mexico, [s.d.]. The first image (upper left) shows a row of benches with a grilled gating set in the wall behind them, beneath an area lined with two-dimensional statues of saints/Catholic figures. The second image (upper right) is of a large structure with thin columns heavily decorated with wood carvings. The third image (lower left) is of a wide view of what appears to be the wall piece found behind a church altar. A long rectangular base which is heavily carved into stands beneath an area decorated with the faces of men and angels, as well as other lines and swirls. The last image (lower right) is of a slightly arched opening set in the heavily embellished wall of a church, perhaps used as a tabernacle where the chalice and other vessels are kept.
